Your turkey sighting reminds me that yesterday morning there was a female turkey in a backyard at the North end of Muriel Street, near the Boces path and would not be hard to get to or from SSW from there. Linda Orkin On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 10:06 AM, Mark Chao markc...@imt.org wrote: The

Well I'm hopeless looking for raptor nests. I went by Christopher Lane between 6:30 and 7:00 when I thought would be the best times, and didn't see the Merlin once. Nice that Mark saw it though. I would like to know of other Merlin sightings, please. (Not that I'm going to see it.) John Confer
